'L.A. Woman'

L.A. Woman was the swan song for one of the worst, most overhyped and underwhelming bands in modern pop culture, The Doors.

The album itself actually isn't that bad. For The Doors it's pretty good. It's a bare bones project without a lot of production or over thinking things. Not all the lyrics are Jim Morrison's incoherent dribble.

The album was recorded between December 1970-January 1971. The album would be released in April 1971. In December 1970, The Doors began a tour in the south starting in Dallas. The next night was in New Orleans and that's when Morrison ahd his infamous freak out. He smashed the stage with a microphone stand and sat down refusing to perform.

The rest of the band agree to stop touring. Eight months later, Morrison would wind up dead in Paris. At least they went out not being total miserable assholes. Except for them actually all being assholes.
